About This Feature

Overview

Create New Slide is a basic editing feature in WPS Office for Mac that lets you insert a new slide into an existing presentation. You can add a slide from the Home tab, insert one from the right-click menu in the left thumbnail pane, or choose a layout from the layout panel. For faster content building, you can also use AI Generate Page or AI Generate Pages, or create slides from an outline.

This feature works well for class materials, project reports, training decks, and everyday presentation editing. It helps you extend an existing deck, adjust slide order, and choose a layout that fits your content more efficiently in WPS Office.

Capability Summary	Supports creating new slides in WPS Slides through the Home tab, right-click menu, layout-based insertion, AI page generation, and outline-based generation.	Microsoft PowerPoint supports adding slides, and Microsoft Learn documents methods such as SlideCollection.add and AddSlide for adding a new slide.	Google Slides supports adding, deleting, and organizing slides, and lets you insert a slide with a selected layout.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections separated by divider blocks into slides, which is closer to turning a document into a presentation than inserting slides one by one in a traditional slide editor.	Adobe Generate presentation focuses more on creating a full presentation from prompts and files, and also supports regenerating or adding slides later.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines manual insertion, layout selection, right-click insertion, AI page generation, and outline-based generation in one presentation editing workflow, which fits both routine editing and faster deck expansion.	Compared with WPS: official documentation clearly supports adding slides, but the retrieved official pages are more developer-oriented than end-user editing guidance.	Compared with WPS: supports basic slide insertion and layout selection with clear online workflow guidance; compared with WPS, there is less emphasis here on a desktop-style editing entry.	Compared with WPS: better suited to turning existing document content into slides, rather than a traditional slide-by-slide editing workflow.	Compared with WPS: places more emphasis on generating a draft deck from prompts or source files; its official description is less focused on routine slide-by-slide insertion inside an existing deck.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to keep adding slides, switching layouts, and editing within an existing presentation, WPS follows a familiar presentation workflow. If your work is more about turning documents into slides or generating a first draft with AI, Notion and Adobe each fit different use cases.
